Almost every English school in Malta runs junior programmes. Here are the criteria we used to keep only 4.

Varied full board that caters for special diets and allergies.
Air-conditioned rooms, in a supervised residence or a host family vetted by the school.
Team leaders on hand day and night, in sufficient numbers for the size of the group.
Reviews from former students and parents, over several seasons.
Age-appropriate free time and curfews, with a roll call every evening.
An emergency line available 24/7 and a clear procedure if anything goes wrong.
Beach, visits, excursions and evening events, planned over two weeks to avoid repetition.
Parental consent, medical form and course documents prepared before departure.
A test at the start, follow-up by the teacher and a level certificate at the end.
Malta has become one of the favourite destinations for teenagers who want to improve their English. English is an official language here, and the country has 31 government-licensed English schools. Their licences and quality labels are explained in our guide to school accreditations.
Summer camps are the most popular option. They combine English lessons with outdoor activities, in an international, English-speaking setting. Young people progress quickly, because they speak English from morning to night with students from all over the world.
Our selection is based on supervision, safety, quality of accommodation, the activity programme and teaching quality. For students aged 17 and over, see also our English courses for young adults and adults, as well as our current offers.
As partners of the schools, we take care of the paperwork. Simply send us a copy of the student’s ID, a completed Medical Consent Form and a parental consent form. We then send you all the course documents: enrolment form, school invoice and so on. You pay the school directly, and our services are free for families.
The programmes are all-inclusive. From the moment they arrive in Malta, your child is fully looked after by the school. The package includes English lessons, accommodation in a residence or host family, meals, activities and transport around the island. Only the flights are not included.
Malta is a hot country by the sea. Pack beach gear (swimsuits, a towel, sandals), two sports outfits with suitable trainers, and clothes for trips into town. Above all, remember sun protection: sunglasses, a cap and factor 50 sun cream.
Schools have no particular dress code; neat, casual clothes are fine. Shorts, T-shirts and sandals are accepted in class. Classrooms are air-conditioned, so pack a light jumper for the change in temperature from outside.
At Malta airport, a member of the supervision team, the team leader, meets the student at baggage reclaim with a name sign. Whatever the arrival time, day or night, someone will be waiting. The airport is small, so there is no way to miss the team leader.
On the first day, each student takes a level test. They are then placed in a group that suits their English. Students receive the activity programme and the timetable for the week. A student who feels uncomfortable in their group can ask the coordinator to move.
Lessons run from Monday to Friday, in 45-minute sessions. They cover reading, writing, listening and speaking. The standard programme is 3 hours a day; some schools offer an intensive programme of 4 hours 30 minutes, depending on age.
Students stay in a residence, on the school campus or in a hotel, or with a Maltese family. Schools like to mix nationalities in the same room, which encourages speaking English. Rooms are air-conditioned, and 3 or 4 students share a bathroom.
Yes, full board is included: breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu changes every day, and students often help themselves from a buffet.
The programme varies with the time of year and the weather. The most common activities: a visit to Valletta, a trip to Comino and the Blue Lagoon, a bowling night or an afternoon of beach games. Programmes are planned over two weeks to avoid repetition.
Every student must have travel insurance covering illness and accidents. European citizens can also access public healthcare with the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). When booking, tell the school about any illness or allergy. In Malta, the student can reach their coordinator 24/7, and you can contact us by phone or WhatsApp.
We help you choose the right programme for your child’s age, level and dates, free of charge. Then we handle the enrolment with the school for you.
